    Removing RTF formatting from a Notes field...

    I imported my family file from my Ancestry account.
    In there, in the notes on some people it has included a Note Field with all the RTF formatting included in it.
    Like this:
    {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1404\cocoasubrtf34 0{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;}{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}\p ard\tx560\tx1120\tx1680\tx2240\tx2800\tx3360\tx392 0\tx4480\tx5040\tx5600\tx6160\tx6720\pardirnatural \f0\fs24 \cf0 Cleveland Necrology: \par Id#: 0238384 \par Name: Middleton, Sarah Ann \par Date: Oct 14 1950 \par Source: Source unknown; Cleveland Necrology File, Reel #057. \par Notes: Middleton, Sarah Ann, age 93, of Hudson, O., beloved wife of the later William H.; mother of William J., Mrs. Emanuel and Bertie Middleton; grandmother and great-grandmother; passed away Thursday. Friends may call at the Donald B. Johnson Funeral Home, Hudson, O., where services will be held Monday, Oct. 16, at 2 p. m.}

    Clearly, that is not what I'd want in there! LOL

    Does anyone have a suggestion of how I can get rid of all of that "crap" to end up with something like this:
    Cleveland Necrology:
    Name: Middleton, Sarah Ann
    Date: Oct 14 1950
    Source: Source unknown; Cleveland Necrology File, Reel #057.
    Notes: Middleton, Sarah Ann, age 93, of Hudson, O., beloved wife of the later William H.; mother of William J., Mrs. Emanuel and Bertie Middleton; grandmother and great-grandmother; passed away Thursday. Friends may call at the Donald B. Johnson Funeral Home, Hudson, O., where services will be held Monday, Oct. 16, at 2 p. m.
